Bernard Cornwell - A pogány hadúr (2022)

After the death of King Alfred, there is a fragile peace in the kingdoms of England - the Danes rule the northern lands, while Wessex and Mercia remain in the hands of the Saxons. But peacetime is the greatest challenge for a warrior. Uhtred, the celebrated champion of the late king, loses the favor of the new ruler, and when he gives free rein to his anger in a thoughtless moment, he can also bid farewell to his possessions. He will be an outcast, condemned by Christians and pagans alike. Only a handful of his men remain loyal to him as he marches north in a bold move to try to reclaim his ancient stronghold, Bebbanburg - the island's greatest fortress.
But the fragile peace comes to an end: Cnut the Longsword, the fearsome Danish warlord, goes on a rampage when his wife and heir are kidnapped. No kingdom can escape the bloody war until it is decided whether the land of England will belong to the Saxons or the Danes. Uhtred, the heathen lord of the outcasts, is tasked with deciding where and when the decisive battle will take place. Bernard Cornwell's monumental series of Anglo-Saxon histories takes us to the birth of England and the age of the Viking Wars. From the book series, the BBC and Netflix made a highly successful TV adaptation entitled The Last Kingdom, which was filmed in Hungary. "Like Game of Thrones, only in reality." Observer
